Strongly agree

No, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war

Libertarians often emphasize the importance of following the Constitution, which grants Congress the power to declare war. They would likely argue that military actions, such as drone strikes, should only be conducted with proper Congressional authorization to ensure checks and balances and prevent executive overreach.

Agree

No

Many Libertarians would agree with this answer due to their non-interventionist foreign policy stance. They believe that the U.S. should not interfere in the affairs of other countries and that military actions should be limited to direct threats to national security. However, some may argue that gathering intelligence is necessary for self-defense.

Agree

Yes, but only with permission from the country in question

This answer aligns with the Libertarian principle of respecting the sovereignty of other nations. By seeking permission from the country in question, the U.S. would be acknowledging their right to self-determination and avoiding unilateral military actions. However, some Libertarians may still argue that any intervention, even with permission, is unnecessary and potentially harmful.

Slightly agree

No, only to gather intelligence, not to kill suspected terrorists

Some Libertarians may agree with this answer as a compromise between non-interventionism and the need for intelligence gathering. They may argue that gathering intelligence is necessary for self-defense, but that killing suspected terrorists without due process or proper authorization is a violation of individual rights and international law.

Disagree

Yes

Libertarians generally prioritize individual rights and non-interventionism. While some may see the use of drones as a necessary tool in combating terrorism, many would argue that it infringes on the sovereignty of foreign nations and can lead to unintended civilian casualties. However, the party does not have a unified stance on this issue.

Strongly disagree

Yes, the U.S. needs to use all means necessary to combat terrorism

This answer is more aligned with a neoconservative or interventionist foreign policy, which is generally not supported by Libertarians. Libertarians tend to prioritize individual rights and non-interventionism, and they would likely argue that using 'all means necessary' could lead to violations of civil liberties and unnecessary military actions.
